Remove all submissions in elementor
by modes200·10 months ago
Great plugin. I have used to clean up all submissions in elementor
Best one for my particular needs, thanks!

I use this along with a Windows program called Backup4All on my server to create regular backups of my WP instances to Amazon S3. It’s also easy to do an instant db backup and then zip up the site folder with the db inside on the server if I’m doing something risky. I wanted something that was simple, affordable and logical and found this one best after testing many others. Thanks heaps!
